BASIC FUNCTIONALITY

Powering ON: Press and hold down the small power button until the LED turns blue and the CHS beeps twice (low-high). Powering OFF / Disconnecting: Press and hold down the small power button until the CHS beeps twice (high-low).

Scanning Barcodes: After connecting the CHS to your device, open an application. Put the cursor where you want to enter data. Hold the CHS about 4 inches (10 cm) from the barcode and press and hold the trigger button. Keep your hand steady and make sure the red beam covers the entire width of the barcode. By default, the CHS will beep and vibrate, and the LED will flash green to confirm that data was decoded and sent to the host device.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING

Automatic Reconnections: After you power on the CHS, it will automatically try to connect to the last device it paired and connected to. • Make sure the device is in range with Bluetooth on. • If using SPP mode, make sure SocketScan 10 software

or an application developed with SocketScan 10 SDK is running.

If the CHS is connected to a device and gets disconnected, it will try to reconnect for a few minutes. Make sure the device is on and in range. If the CHS cannot reconnect, it will emit a long beep. Press the trigger button to restart the reconnection process.

Unpairing the CHS: Deleting the Bluetooth Pairing

In most cases, if the CHS is paired with a device, you should unpair it before trying to connect to a new device.

1. Power on the CHS. 2. Press and hold down the trigger button. 3. Press and hold down the power button. 4. After you hear 3 beeps, release both buttons. 5. The CHS will unpair and automatically power off. The

next time you power on the CHS, it will be discoverable.
